CCE Festivals in April/May 2011 – Irelandby Rob Howard |
 |
| Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann (CCE), founded in 1951, a non-profit cultural movement that seeks to promote Irish traditional music, song and dance. Although based in Dublin, CCE is an international organisation, holding competitions and sponsoring tours and educational activities in several countries. Each year CCE holds local competitive festivals in Ireland, Britain and the USA, leading to the All Ireland Festival (Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann) – a large scale festival attracting many thousands of competitors and visitors. This year’s All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil takes place in Cavan Town, County Cavan in the Irish Republic from August 13th to 22nd. The button and piano accordion is a common feature of all CCE festivals, both as a solo instrument and in ensembles. There are several local CCE festivals in Ireland scheduled for April and May, as follows: April 14th to 17th - Féile Patrick Byrne 2011, Carrickmacross, Co.
